I tried to adapt my Christmas style to the public.
Some link colors were wrong, so I had to change that. I hope it's true everywhere!

The style is actually released, however, I could not fix some bugs in the css.
This is why I set in here as RC.

It is a very simple silver, white and light black Xmas Style, without glimmer.
He has red hover effects also in posting profile
The header image / banner is fully responsive
In the style displays the Santa no avatar
In the contrib folder there are additional backgrounds and favicons

Note: I removed the header images from the contrib folder. They are free for private and commercial use without attribution. But a direct transfer is definitely not always allowed. Although they are offered everywhere in the net.

Sorry I did not have a computer and did not see it until tonight. Than first I had to install this ext. Because I have the newsblock mini ext. installed by Waldkatze instead. I did not know that this ext is basically the same thing. And also has a shutdown function for the user

I will definitely test the style again in 3.2.2 and submit it for validation. However, there is no hurry with a Christmas style.
First, I have to finish the other two styles(Blackfog and Modern with wrap an forabg borders).
Development status of all my styles can be seen here https://www.forum.my-tastenworld.ch/viewforum.php?f=207
Styles are almost done. I just have to adjust them in the 3.2.1 Liveboard to test - especially to find css errors!

I have now adapted the style to 3.2.2
Error corrected
Various things adapted. It now has an icon before the last subject. So the style got a little more red color
The silver-xmas.css completely rebuilt. Everything has to be in the right place now.

Download is in the last answer(see link to forum in the first post)

I changed the header. It is "only" a Christmas style. If you have to change the header as well as the responsive because of a long forum description, for this short time, I find this quite laborious.
I think you have to choose one variant instead of adapting both to the new phpbb version.

Thank you for the hint
Took forever for this title to display correctly in IE.
What an exotic phone you have . I tested the style here http://www.responsive.cc and it looked correct on every display. But if it looks like that in some phones, I'll have to format the title normally again. Unfortunately, I don't have any mobile devices to see if I can do it that way. Too bad about the special title.

Maybe I can change the title color in the responsive part? I'll try that.

Tried to change that in response. But there was always some browser that didn't display it correctly. Now monochrome with other shadow.

Hopefully this problem doesn't also exist in the other styles with the gradient icons! What do the Blackfog and Modern style icons look like in your phone?
They are both to be seen as DEMO in my forum(Link in signature)

- Style updated to 3.2.3
- Title formatting changed(after hint from Dan Stylez)
- Changed the online container with background as in ul.forums to make the group colors and member names easier to see.

I'm still thinking whether the whole statistics part should be in one block. Because depending on the group color you can't see the member names so well. But I think the style looks better that way.
That's why I haven't updated the download yet

Thank you for your help.
As I had feared, the same problem with the gradient icons in the other styles.

Tried all day yesterday to copyright a picture. But somehow nothing fits to the style.
I also packed the statistics part into a block. I still like the style better without the block. But now there are no more problems concerning badly readable groups/member colors. Therefore I am quite uncertain, which variant I should make now.
The one with the picture in the copyright, I haven't found out yet. In all mobile devices, one sees only the left part.

Edit 20.9.
Thanks received code in the post on .de, it has now worked with the images.
The bar background can be changed in the css as transparent

I liked it less high indeed better. However, there should still be the opposition for a logo or Happy Newyear.

Before I can update the download, I have to check the Style.css and the html files again.

The whole forum description part and the search headers have been reconfigured. The description is now on the wrap again.

The statistics are now displayed in a block. If you have installed the 24 hours ext. of rmcgirr83, you have to make some changes. Otherwise the ext. is displayed below the block (instructions and code can be found in my forum in the phpbb ECKE https://www.forum.my-tastenworld.ch/viewforum.php?f=227)
There is also an adjustment for the boardannouncement and the Calendar ext. of hjw. However, the background for Saturday and Sunday is not quite satisfactory.

Because the style has light as well as dark backgrounds, several extensions need an adjustment, because the font color is not uniform.

As soon as I have thoroughly checked the style for correctness again, I submit it for validation.
Styledownload is updated.

Edit:
With James help we have now created a file, which you can insert into the header banner Ext, so that in Xmasstyle the Christmas picture is displayed (Except for the search headers it was easy. But with my solution the search header was not displayed). The header looks exactly the same as now. It's about this Ext: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... er_banner/
We made adjustments for the validated version 3.2.1 as well as for the version 3.2.2 RC2.
Only in the Responsive View, the Search Icon is not displayed in the Navbar. This definitely does not seem to be possible.

If someone doesn't have a description displayed in the forum, he can write something like: "We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year" so that there won't be an empty space. Since in the responsive view, no searchbox is displayed in the header anymore.

So you don't have to screw around with the Christmas style for a long time, if this Ext. is installed for the other styles in your forum.

If someone needs more space for their logo(alternative header image), I created a file with an empty header image background. It also contains gifts and fireworks pictures.
